Education

Research Interests Trained in political science, my main interest is in the politics of health and health care in Africa. I have written on the political ecology of disease, on the impact of war on women, on women's health, and on occupational and environmental health in Africa. Field work has taken me to Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Algeria, but I have also visited Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Senegal, and Cameroon, and I have written about Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, and Gabon.
